Josh Allen didn’t wait for the question he knew was coming on Sunday after finally leading the Buffalo Bills to a road win over the Houston Texans in a season-opening thriller. “We do like Reliant Stadium,” he said with a big smile. “Woo.” Allen threw a 34-yard touchdown pass to Joshua Palmer with 1:36 remaining to lift the Bills to a 36-31 victory in a back-and-forth game.

Houston allowed its most points since a 36-22 loss to Cleveland on Dec. 24, 2023. “We’ve got to do a better job, especially closing out the game,” defensive end Will Anderson said. “It just wasn’t our standard. That’s not who we are. That’s not who we want to be as a defence. ” Dalton Kincaid had five receptions for 130 yards and DJ Moore had five catches for…
